Pine Bluff Downtown Development Inc. has received Arkansas Historic Preservation funds through Main Street Arkansas to assist businesses during the pandemic.
The application deadline is Oct. 29. Grants up to $2,500 may be requested. The funds are to be distributed to small businesses in the program area and the Main Street corridor.
An application and guidelines were mailed or emailed to businesses in these two areas, according to an organization newsletter. These funds are intended to aid agencies that were affected by temporary closures and/or loss of customers during the pandemic.
If a business is in the downtown program area or on Main Street and they didn’t receive an application, they should contact Pine Bluff Downtown Development at (870) 536-8742 or pbdd110pine@yahoo.com.
